Inflammā

Story He was once a god to them, a leader who promised light and built a family from broken souls. And then, to save himself from the coming sirens, he became their devil. He watched his church burn, a monument of his own making, filled with the bodies of those who trusted him, while his most faithful fought and died outside. Years later, an old man now, he walks past a hanging noose, a choice meant for guilty men. But guilt is not a burden he carries. He turns his back on it and walks toward the ruins, a silent promise that some fires are always ready to be lit again.

Artist’s Reflection Inflammā is the heart of the entire collection, the man who began it all. It’s about the sickness of power, and how faith can twist into something far darker when the worship becomes self-directed. I wanted him to feel both divine and empty, like someone who sees the world as ash and still thinks himself the flame. It’s not redemption he seeks, it’s legacy, even if it burns everything left around him.

Technical Process The process began by crafting still compositions inside Unreal Engine 5, carefully building each scene’s mood and structure. These stills were then stylized using a custom Stable Diffusion model I trained on my own Midjourney artworks, allowing the visual language to stay personal and recognizably mine. Once styled, the images were upscaled in Leonardo for clarity before being brought to life using Kling and Luma AI

Sound design carried equal weight. The music was composed using Suno AI and Udio AI, with lyrics co-written through ChatGPT, shaped to match the emotional pulse of each story. The final sequences were rendered in Deforum, using ControlNets to merge motion, atmosphere, and narrative, turning stillness into something that breathes.
